Alcohol hillstreakers neither hurt nor help
Streaking on the UNL campus. nas
caused some students to fear more
than the clothes dropping itself. Some
thought the streaking might lessen the
chances of the bill allowing sale and
consumption of alcohol on campus of
being passed by the Legislature.
According to five state senators
interviewed Tuesday, streaking by
UNL students hasn't hurt the chances
for the bill's passage, but it hasn't
helped either.
The bill is scheduled to be voted on
Thursday.
State Sen." Steve Fowler of Lincoln, .
cosponsor of the bill, said that while
the streaking would not affect the
chances of the hill passing, it would
give some senators a rationale for
voting against the bill.
St has caused "some senators to
question the maturity of students," he
said.
State Sen. Ernie Chambers of
Omaha agreed.
"Streaking gives you an idea of the
maturity of (those involved in
streaking)," he said.
He previously has opposed the bill
and would still oppose ilt he said.
State Sen. James Dickinson of
Omaha said, "I'm sure the streaking
didn't help (chances for the bill's
passage)."
Streaking could be condoned, he
said, because "it's spring and they are
kids, but that's not what you have
been telling us."
Dickinson said it didn't change his
opinion cm the bill. He was not going
to vote for it anyway, h8 said.
State. Sen. Terry Carpenter of
Scottsbluff said that it, would not
affect the outcome of the vote.
"In my case, , at 73, I don't
understand streaking,", he said. Ha ;
noted that nudity in a man is not a
very pretty sight, and added, "as one
senator said, 'the only thing it proves
is that all men weren't created equal.'"
Carpenter said he plans to amend
the alcohol bill so that sale of alcohol
will not be allowed on campus. He said
he would vote for allowing students to
have and consume it in residence halls.
State Sen. Ralph Kelly of Grand
Island said streaking would not affect
the bill's chances.
"The reason we didn't streak when
, we were in college was because" we'
didn't think of It," he said.' " T w
Committee
to probe
fees, fines
policies
By Mark Hoffman
UNL student, faculty or staff members who want
complain about a fee or a fine, why they received it or how
they can appeal it will be given that opportunity today.
That is when the Council on Student Life's (CSL) ad hoc
Fees and Fines Committee starts holding public hearings
about fees and fines at UNL, according to committee
chairman Michael Steinman.
Steinman, an sssistant professor of political science, said
the committee's purpose is:
To investigate ail fees and fines that UNL members
might have to pay.
To look at the rationale behind the policy of
administering those fees and fines.
-To look at the procedures used to collect fees and fines
and to determine whether academic sanctions, such as
withholding a student's registration, are used.
To determine alt existing appeals routes.
One of tha committee's problems has been to determine
what constitutes a fee or a fine, Steinman said. The
committee plans to look into any area of fees and fines,
except for tuition and the student fees each student pays
within his tuition, he said.
The committee has invited administrators from various
UNL departments to speak at the public hearings. The
hearings will be held in the Nebraska Union at 12:30 p.m.
starting today and continuing every Wednesday and
Thursday until the middle of April.
From those speakers and from questions posed by
committee members and the audience, the committee will
draft recommendations about those areas of investigation,
Steinman said.
He invited anyone who wanted to coma to the meetings
to listen, ask questions and make suggastions about other
areas not on the committee's calendar. He said anyone
wanting to appear on the agenda should contact him at his
office in Oldfather 518.
The tenative list of speakers for the Wednesday and
Thursday meetings is:
March 13-Gale Cade, Campui Security and Traffic director;
March 14 -Gary Fouraker, assistant bursar, Kennerd Pi&ehel, student

consumption of alcohol on campus, they are going to have to
prove it to at least one state senator Thursday.

tbj first of thre floor votes.
Commenting last month on the more than 400 students who
attended the alcohol bill's public hearing, State Sen; Terry
Carpenter of Scottsbluff said, "There should be 10 times 3s many
pccpla as are here now crowding the galleries and halts" if the bill
really has solid backing.

to unite spinvt the measure.
The Leyslature will convene st 9 am. Thursday. The alcohol
